Hindustan Magnesium Products Pvt Ltd sees a tremendous opportunity of magnesium usage in the automotive industry. Currently the usage of magnesium alloys in the automotive industry is prevalent only in the premium sector in the European market. However, with increasing fuel prices and a demand to make cars with alternative fuels, magnesium usage in the automotive industry is a huge opportunity. Presently, magnesium castings are used in many passenger cars in areas such as transmission systems, engine, powertrain systems, steering systems etc.

Hindustan Magnesium Product Pvt Ltd wanted to evangelize the usage of magnesium alloys in the Indian automotive industry and the SIAT expo was the ideal platform for the same. The show attracted footfalls from all the leading auto manufacturers of India with some key presentations & technical papers. HMPPL strongly believes in promoting the usage of magnesium

alloys in the automotive industry & sees the industry will make a
shift to magnesium within this decade itself in a very big way. The company currently offers development & batch type production of castings but is soon planning for a full scale production set-up which can meet the future requirements of the industry.
